No. 11-8
No.11 Minnesota Golden Gophers 4-8, 14-9
The Gophers are missing leading scorer Mara Braun. She's been out for two weeks, and that's been about the last time they've won its last basketball game. The Golden Gophers travel to Piscataway to play Rutgers in the Pillow Fight of the Week of the Century. Minnesota could get another Big Ten victory next week.
No. 10 Illinois Fighting Illini 11-12, 5-8
It seemed like Illinois was getting off the mat. They'd won three of four games and looked like they were getting hot. Then, Sunday afternoon happened. Illinois' shooting woes crept up on them again. Makira Cook and Genesis Bryant shot a combined 6-27 from the floor in their 69-53 loss to the Terrapins. Unfortunately for the Illini, those shots falling last year aren't falling this year.
No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers 11-11, 4-8
Breathe easy, Badger fans. Despite losing two of three games, Wisconsin is building for the future. Serah Williams, Ronnie Porter, and Sania Copeland are playing solid basketball. They are taking their lumps this year but will be a force next year.
No. 8 Maryland Terrapins 14-10, 6-7
Maryland missed Shyanne Sellars when she was out. Her return has been the catalyst for their last two wins. When she plays well, Maryland wins. When she doesn't, they struggle. Maryland has a fairly manageable schedule coming down the stretch. Can they make a run before the Big Ten tournament?
